Developing Expertise in Clinical Radiology: The Feedback Challenge.

Abstract

In 2009, psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Gary Klein published a now widely cited article describing conditions for developing expert intuition [1]. The article represented an “adversarial collaboration” because the authors hold contrasting perspectives on the topic of professional judgment and decision making. Kahneman is a Nobel prize winner who (along with his former colleague Amos Tversky) is famous for having developed the “heuristics and bias” research program [2]. Their seminal research studies uncovered many of the heuristics (ie, mental shortcuts) that humans use for judgment and decision making and the conditions under which bias and systemic error predictably ensue.
